We got up and out at gate opening and headed up towards the leopard hoping it was still there, we were the second car there with no one behind us. As we got there, he wasnt in the tree and my heart sank a little but then my SO spotted him lying in the grass...and the smile returned.

it gave us a look...and then relaxed as only cats do..

and then he got up and lay in the bushes....and it was time for us to go.

we left through croc bridge and our last photographs were of this eagle...I think its an immature fish eagle.

and our kruger journey was over for another year.

We had ups and downs but being with family and friends; especially in my 40th year, made the experience even more memorable.

May I thank all of you who have read and replied to this TR and I hope you have enjoyed the ride as much as I have enjoyed driving it.
